Pinhole Surgical Technique

Prepare for the exciting new surgical technique that banishes scalpels and sutures. Dr. Tang is the first dentist in New England to be certified to administer the advanced Pinhole Surgical Technique. This procedure will correct gum recession quickly and comfortably.

Pinhole Surgical Technique

The Pinhole Surgical Technique is the rapid and simple way to fix gum recession. Gum recession is a frustrating problem. It occurs when gum tissue pulls away from the surfaces of the teeth, leaving them overexposed. Causes of gum recession include aggressive brushing, periodontal disease, genetics, excessive clenching, and more, making it a common problem. Left untreated, gum recession can cause all of the following problems:

Hypersensitive teeth

Teeth that appear too long or misshapen

Visible tooth roots

Change in tooth’s color

Moving and shifting teeth which can become crooked

Cavities below the gum line

Inflamed gums

Bleeding gums

Fortunately, Dr. Tang makes gum recession easier to fix than ever before. You can enjoy relief from all of these symptoms and a more attractive appearance without having to undergo traditional surgery. The Pinhole Surgery Technique is an advanced method that is easier on you and your gums, but produces the same beautiful results.

Dr. Tang uses specialized instruments to reverse gum recession instead of a scalpel. There will be no incisions, no sutures, and very little pain or swelling. Dr. Tang can carefully slide the gum tissue down and put collagen strips in place to hold the gums where they belong. The Pinhole Surgery Technique only takes 1-2 hours, and patients tend to feel better after just one day of recovery.
